Some ongoing projects …
New Terraces for large house, Potters Bar
The work is at a fine arts and crafts period house.
The project is a combination of engineering work and
landscaping skills, being the design of new terraces and
steps up to the house from the rear lawns. The extensive
areas of original steps and terraces had suffered years
of shrinkage and settlement due to the clay sub-strata -
they were slowly slipping down the slope into the
ornamental lake. Due to the clay shrinkage problems an
engineer was employed who advised on the new foundations
needed for the retaining walls. The project is currently
out to tender.
